It's more specific than you make it out. The singularity idea is that smart AIs working on improving AI will produce smarter AIs, leading to an ever increasing curve that at some point hits a mathematical singularity.
- fsloth 3y agoNo it's not specific at all in predicting technological progress, which was the point of my comment. Nobody knows what singularity would actually mean from the point of view of specific technological development.
